Interview preparation journey

Journey
I was not good at coding at the start of my career, but I practiced a lot of questions from Code Studio, which helped me to excel in my life and also helped me in my coding exams.
Application story
I started preparing for my placements and found that ADMIRAL had posted a job listing on LinkedIn for a Software Engineer that suits my interest. After that, I was selected for the interviews, which consisted of 3 rounds (2 technical and 1 HR round).
Why selected/rejected for the role?
My basic concepts of all the topics were clear, and I also prepared HR questions through mock interviews. I practiced all the basic to medium coding questions before the interview.

You are given an array consisting of N positive integers, and your task is to sort the array in decreasing order of count of set bits in the binary representation of the integers present in the array.

In other words, you have to modify the array such that an integer with more number of set bits should appear before the integer which has lesser number of set bits in its binary representation.

The number of set bits is nothing but the number of 1s present in the binary representation of the integer. For example, the number of set bits in 5(0101) is equal to 2.

Note :

1. If any two numbers have the same count of set bits, then in the sorted array they will appear in the order in which they appear in the original array. For example, let the array be { 2, 4, 3}, in this case, both 2 and 4 have the same number of set bits so the answer will be {3, 2, 4} and not {3, 4, 2}, because in the original array 2 appears before 4.

2. The array may contain duplicate elements.

You are given a matrix of size N * M. Can you count the number of squares in it?

As the count will be very large, so compute it with modulo 10^9 + 7.

For Example:

Let N = 3 and M = 5
The number of squares of size 1 will be 15.
The number of squares of size 2 will be 8.
The number of squares of size 3 will be 3.
Thus the answer will be 26.
